Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black


No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm...
I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

Angie
Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in
smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

Miss You
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you.
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you.
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you.
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just
dyin' to meet you.
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to."
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!
I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling thro' the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with
you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah

Get Off My Cloud


I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my
block,
And I sit at home looking out the window,
Imagining the world has stopped.
Then in comes a man all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says I've won five pounds if I have his kind of
detergent pack.
I says: Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd.
"On my cloud, baby."
The telephone is ringing,
I say "Hi, it's me, who is it on the line?"
A voice says "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm going fine.
He says "It's three A.M., there's too much noise,
Don't you people ever go to bed? Just 'cause you feel so
good,
Do you have to drive me out of my head?"
I says: Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd.
"On my cloud, baby."
I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive down town.
It was so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody not a
soul around.
I laid myself out, I was so tired, and I started to dream.
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag
stuck on my
wind-screen.
I says: Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Dont' hang around 'cause two's a crowd.

Gimme Shelter
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today.
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
Ooh, see the fire sweepin'
Our very street today.
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
The floods is threat'ning
My very life today.
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away.
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away.

Ruby Tuesday
She would never say where she came from.
Yesterday dont matter if its gone.
While the sun is bright or
In the darkest night.
No one knows
She comes and goes.
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with ev'ry new day.
Still Im gonna miss you.
Dont cuestion why she needs to be so free.
Shell tell you its the only way to be.
She just cant be chained to a
Life where nothings gained and nothings lost at such a
cost.
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with ev'ry new day.
Still Im gonna miss you.
"Theres no time to lose"
I heard her say.
Catch your dreams before they slip away.
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind.
Aint life unkind?
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still Im gonna miss you.
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day.
Still Im gonna miss you.

Satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction,
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no,
When I'm drivin' in my car, and that man comes on the
radio;
And he's tellin' me more and more about some useless
information,
Supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction,
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try. I can't get no,
I can't get no,
When I'm watchin' my T.V., and that man comes on to tell
me;
How white my shirts can be,
Well, he can't be a man,
'Cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me,
I can't get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no (girl with action,)
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no,
When I'm ridin' 'round the world, and I'm doin' this and I'm
signin' that;
And I'm tryin' to make some girl. Who tells me, baby,
Better come back later next week, 'cause you see I'm on a
losing streak,
I can't get no, oh, no no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction,
no satisfaction.

She comes in colors everywhere
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Combing colors in the air
Oh, everywhere,

Speck of white so fair and pale

Combing colors in the air

She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Combing colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors
She's like a rainbow
Combing colors in the air

Jumping Jack Flash


I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

Bitch
I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it
Just had a fortnights sleep
I'm feeling so tired, Ow!, so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week
I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
Feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a horse meat pie

I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah when you lay me out
My heart starts beating like a big bass drum, alright
Yeah you got to mix it child
Ya got to fix it must be love
It's a bitch
You got to mix it child
Ya got to fix it must be love
It's a bitch allright
Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
Kicking the stall all night
Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
Don't have no bark or bite
Yeah when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Yeah when you lay me out


My heart starts beating like a big bass drum

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

You Can't Always Get What You Want


I saw her today at the reception,A glass of wine in her
hand.
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,At her feet
was a footloose man.

At her feet was a footloose man.
You can't always get what you want... (x3)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need.
I went down to the demonstration,To get my fair share of
abuse.
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations,
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse."
You can't always get what you want... (x3)
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need.
I went down to the Chelsea drugstoreTo get your
prescription filled.
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy,

And man, did he look pretty ill.


We decided that we would have a soda,
My favorite flavor, cherry red.I sung my song to Mr.
Jimmy,
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"I said to
him,
You can't always get what you want... (x3)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need.
You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby.
I saw her today at the reception,
In her glass was a bleeding man.
She was practiced at the art of deception,
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands.
You can't always get what you want... (x3)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You'll get what you need.
You can't always get what you want... (x3)

Anybody Seen My Baby?


She confessed her love to me
Then she vanished
On the breeze
Trying to hold on to that
Was just impossible.
She was more than beautiful
Closer to ethernal
With a kind of
Down to earth flavor.
Close my eyes
Its three in the afternoon
Then I realize
That shes really
Gone for good.
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
Love has gone
And made me blind

Ive looked but I just cant find


She has gotten lost
In the crowd
I was flippin magazines
In that pace on Mercer Street
When I thought I spotted her.
Getting on a motor bike
Looking rather lady like
Didnt she just give me a wave?
Salty tears Its three in the afternoon
Has she disappeared
Is she really gone for good
Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes I reach out
And touch the prize
Anybody seen her around
Anybody seen my baby...
Lost, lost and never found I must have called her
A thousand times Sometimes I think
Shes just in my imagination
Lost in the crowd.

Miss You
was it circumstance
or was it merely
that the sky fell down
and made you weary
i told you but you already knew
i will miss you
i will certainly miss you
you look just the same
in all your pictures
still somehow you've changed
a fitting or some fixture
i told you but you already knew
i will miss you
i will certainly miss you
let us pretend that we'll still be friends
you'll stay for a while you all leave in the end

did a thousand stars come out


to greet us now it's overcast
they shake their heads and leave us and
maybe i just need somebody who
i will miss you
i will certainly miss you
now i will miss you
i will probably miss you
